WORLD'S BEST AIR FRIES (Weird Trick, But It Works!)

Watch until the end to see recipes for different cuts of frozen fries, along with my recommended brands.
If you want air fries that you'd swear came out of a deep fryer, then this recipe will give you that. In 22 minutes and 30 seconds. It works by simplifying some French fry cooking technique pioneered by the three-Michelin starred chef Heston Blumenthal and his widely-copied Triple Cooked Chips. It uses frozen fries instead of fresh cut potatoes, because they're often better.

6:10 This may be one the greatest transitions on KZbin. Did you really just saw an air fryer in half for a throwaway shot?!? And if so, how on earth did you then cook the fries 😭

[@ChrisYoungCooks]

Yes, cut the fryer in half. Cooked the fries in the half basket for a few minutes, placed it back into the shot and recaptured the scene, then repeated about 10 more times so that we had all the shots we needed to animate the fries cooking.

I forgot how good Chris is to present a topic" :-) HOW does he come out from "nowhere" and make so great content? 18 videos in and the production value is better than most other channels out there! He even has a cut down the middle air fryer, something I've not seen anywhere else! 11/10 star review :)

I tried them also and they’re the best

[@Wazgrel]

I can't believe the production quality of your videos. I have no idea how the airfryer cutaway was done, other than chainsawing it into 2 pieces with food inside. The attention to details is out of this world. Bravo!

[@AstolfoGayming]

Likely by actually cutting one one in half, then the animation of the meat cooking can be added later

[@ChrisYoungCooks]

Meat was actually cooked to different stages of doneness, then a bit of the front-face was sliced off at each stage and the whole scene was reshot. All of these were then composited together to animate the final shot.

[@Taruinious]

The shaking technique reminds me quite a bit of J. Kenji López-Alt's crispy roast potatoes recipe, creating a slurry of potato paste on the outside to crisp up in the end. I'll have to try this!

That technique came from the Blumenthal original recipe.

[@Taruinious]

[@davidz2690]

@@w00master nope, that is just how everyone in the uk makes potatoes

[@bloodgain]

@@davidz2690 Heston Bluementhal experimented and pioneered the technique at the Fat Duck in the late '90s and explained the technique on UK TV in 2002 and again in follow-up series. Unless you can provide some evidence (not just "I say so") of this technique being popular more than 25 years ago, I think it's safe to say Blumenthal was the primary person who made the technique popular in the UK. I agree it's likely well-known in the UK _now._ It's only somewhat novel in the US at this point because Blumenthal's specials weren't televised here, so fewer people have seen them.

[@Upsideround]

I've watched Chris for a while and it's kinda like an infomercial that slowly advances it's own tech while you actually learn how to cook something. Glad to see the thermometer doing well. You are killing it!

He simply said fries aren’t supposed to be a low fat health food. He didn’t specifically link them as being unhealthy due to the fat.

[@Cenot4ph]

@@JI-ev9pp he said "low fat health food". It's clear his words refer to foods having high fat as being not healthy. It's the understanding of nutritional science and vegans that health foods cannot be high fat. They have this idea saturated fats are unhealthy.

@@Cenot4ph The idea that only low fat foods can be healthy is of course a myth, but so is saying that low fat isn't healthy. It's also kind of fallacious to even say health food at all, as if a singular food can alone be healthy. The whole diet must be considered.

[@erwintimmerman6466]

Wow. A big compliment to your entire team. The lighting, the staging, the physical animation (read your cutting it in half comment), the CGI, the sound, the script, the attention to detail. It all just works naturally without a clue of how much work went into it to get it just right. I can imagine redoing that cutaway shot several times because one of the fries moved. Of course, the subject is the most important, but the production finishes this off as a real masterpiece. I can't imagine how satisfied the team must be seeing all their hard work come together into the final product. Well, and eating those fries at the end probably helped, too 😁 Thank you for this. The love for great food, cooking, teaching and production radiates off the screen during the entire video. Well done ♥️♥️👍👍

[@NoPodcastsHere]

Yeah watching that cross section with the comped animations made me literally sit up in my chair. The shots of the deep fry through the glass were beautiful too. Just the perfect mix of internet-rabbit-hole-levels of scientific depth with the absolute beauty you and your team put into the production and I have to say from the depths of my heart, the fact that you never once tried to make a claim of authority, despite having the pedigree to do so, but instead relied solely on actually doing the painstaking work it took to show us the point you were making without needing us to 'take your word' for any of it. Truly a masterpiece at multiple levels. Subscribed and looking forward to more like it!

[@ChrisYoungCooks]

@@nighthawk_predator1877 yes, and my microwave is 1200watts. But all you're really looking for is that the fries are cooked through to the point where picking them up risks them falling apart.

[@edwardgrassel872]

@@nighthawk_predator1877 mine is 1000 watts. It's important to stress before they get fried they have to look like they will disintegrate if you look at them wrong. Very counterintuitive but important

[@drewmailman1965]

Gave this a try tonight and it worked very well! I used Aldi's Season's Choice Steak Fries. I shook a little longer because they didn't seem to deform quite as much. I didn't cover the fries when I microwaved them (I don't want to put plastic in the microwave), and I used a fairly old, small, and cheap air fryer I bought for my partner for like $50 back in 2019. 15 minutes at 400 felt like it overcooked them a bit, so I did another batch for 12 minutes and these came out very well. I oiled them with some leftover bacon fat and tossed them with salt and pepper.

[@reedb5696]

Personally, I use a baking soda brine for my fries because baking soda will start to break down the outside of the potatoes' cells and provide that same "roughness". This technique also works for meat. When I want to make a low calorie orange chicken, instead of heavily breading the chicken, I brine it in baking soda and then add a small amount of corn starch which sticks to the roughly broken down outside of the chicken to make it feel like there is breading.

Just made them with McCain crinkle cut fries with butter as oil and they were great. my fries didn't get quite as pasty as yours did out of the microwave, but i think that's just due to my microwave being old and low power. I'm looking forward to trying some thicker cut fries like yours. Thank you for this video, your production is amazing!

[@thatdudebro]

every time someone says "air fryers blow" tell them "nah, they suck!"

[@MikeKasprzak]

I tried this last night with some "normal" sized Cavendish fries, following the guide at the end (shake after nuking). Several fries stuck together, and no amount of agitation in the fryer helped. That said, I can't necessarily fault the technique for creating texture. Some of the fries curled on me, which I liked. That said I think I might cut the microwaving time down to 3 minutes. I seasoned it with peanut oil, but I'm not sure I cared for the peanut fragrance.

[@ChrisYoungCooks]

Two things: (1) if the fries you used have added starches (it’s common, check the label),they’ll tend to stick together since the added starch becomes like a glue. (2) I pull fries stuck together apart when I load them into the fryer.

[@FedericoMaracaglia]

[@makanmata]

In my experience a great many of the Serious Eats recipes are bullshit, loaded up with the "one weird tricks" type stuff - add vodka to your pie dough!, add fish sauce to your tomato sauce! - and conceits at "science" that are more often junk science, to make their recipe stand out, but which do little or nothing to make the dish better. Chris' videos are vastly more interesting, practical, and offer a real improvement against a conventionally prepared dish.

@@kurtpenner2362 Of course, each to his own taste.
